Meta-Data - Visualisations

I have been able to export meta-data of my PowerBI file for Tables/Columns, Measures and Relationships.

 

The only thing missing from meta-data is visualisations data. For example, a simple chart on page 1 should have the following metadata:

 

Page = 1

Chart = Bar

Axis = Column_Month, Column_Year

Legend = Customer_ID

Value = Measure_Value_USD

 

Is there anyway I can generate a list of visuals and the measures / columns that are used in that visual?

 

Regards,

Sid

Using DAX Studio and the commands at the bottom of this post, I can generate an excel containing all the table columns, all the measures, and all the relationships of a PowerBI File. 

 

I want to be able to generate a list of visualisations. I don't need the data of the actual chart. I just need the type of data that "makes" the chart. For example, if my BI file has a line chart, and a matrix, I want the following info:

 

ChartID = 1, Chartype = Line, ChartAxis = COLUMNNAME, ChartValue = MEASURENAME

ChartID = 2, Chartype = Matrix, ChartColumn = COLUMNNAME, ChartRow = COLUMNNAME2, ChartValye = MEASURENAME

 

Does that make sense?

 

SELECT *
FROM $system.discover_storage_table_columns
WHERE dictionary_size > 0

 

SELECT *
FROM $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASURES

 

select *
FROM $System.TMSCHEMA_RELATIONSHIPS
